To Thee, our fathers' God, we bow!

Hymnal: ELH1880 #342 (1880) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 To Thee, our fathers' God, we bow!

A holy state is wedded life

Hymnal: ELH1880 #343 (1880) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 A holy state is wedded life And blest, where God joins man and wife: A type of Jesus and His Bride, Beloved and honored at His side. 2 Where manly worth and gentle grace In godliness keep step apace, There wedded love grows never stale, Nor heaven's blessings ever fail. 3 Where by the Word the Lord is Guest, And all through faith and prayer is blest, There with God's grace will all be filled, And God Himself that house will build. 4 The skillful hand and stronger arm, Still plied with zeal and ardor warm, With watchful eye and frugal care, Full soon a competence prepare. 5 This chaste estate of Paradise, Is left to man below the skies; Prolific harbinger of good, Perennial fount of brotherhood: 6 From this all stations emanate, The Home the Church, and Powers of State; Blest nursery of virtuous worth, Be thou held sacred still on earth!

O blest the house, whate'er befall

Hymnal: ELH1880 #344 (1880) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O blest the house, whate'er befall, Where Jesus Christ is All in All; Yea, if He were not dwelling there, How poor and dark and void it were! 2 O blest that house where faith ye find And all within have set their mind To trust their God and serve Him still, And do in all His holy will. 3 O blest the parents who give heed Unto their children's foremost need, And weary not of care or cost: To them and heaven shall none be lost. 4 Blest such a house; it prospers well, In peace and joy the parents dwell, And in their children's lot is shown How richly God can bless His own. 5 Then here will I and mine to-day A solemn cov'nant make and say: Though all the world forsake Thy Word, I and my house will serve the Lord.

Savior! who Thy flock art feeding

Hymnal: ELH1880 #345 (1880) Lyrics: 1 Saviour! Who Thy flock art feeding, With the shepherd's kindest care, All the feeble gently leading, While the lambs Thy bosom share. 2 Here our little ones receiving, Fold them in Thy gracious arm; There we know them, Lord, believing, Only there secure from harm. 3 Never, from Thy pasture roving, Let them be the lion's prey; Let Thy tenderness, so loving, Keep them all life's dang'rous way; 4 Then, within Thy fold eternal, Let them find a resting place, Feed in pastures ever vernal, Drink the rivers of Thy grace.

To keep them Thy way and Word; Be throughout life Thy blessings given, And in the end take them to heaven. Topics: The Catechism The Christian Household Languages: English

Seeing I am Jesus' lamb

Hymnal: ELH1880 #349 (1880) Lyrics: 1 Seeing I am Jesus' lamb, Ever glad at heart I am O'er my Shepherd kind and good, Who provides me daily food, And His lamb by name doth call, For He knows and loves us all. 2 Guided by His gentle staff Where the sunny pastures laugh, I go in and out and feed, Lacking nothing that I need; When I thirst, my feet He brings To the fresh and living springs. 3 Must I not rejoice at this? He is mine, and I am His, And when these bright days are past, Safely in His arms at last He will bear me home to heaven; Ah! what joy hath Jesus given.

Jesus, when a little child

Hymnal: ELH1880 #351 (1880) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, when a little child, Taught us what we ought to be; Holy, harmless, undefiled, Was the Savior's infancy; All the Father's glory shone In the person of His Son. 2 As in age and strength He grew, Heavenly wisdom filled His breast; Crowds attentive round Him drew, Wond'ring at their infant Guest; Gazed upon His lovely face, Saw Him full of truth and grace. 3 In His heavenly Father's house, Jesus spent His early days; There He paid His solemn vows, There proclaimed His Father's praise; Thus it was His lot to gain Favor both with God and man. 4 Jesus, let me be Thy child, Cleanse me with Thy saving blood, Keep my footsteps undefiled, Thou my Guide and highest Good; In the end let there be given Me a place with Thee in heaven.
